Watch: Sorting out the Giants' mess in loss to Dallas

They're still talking about the Giants' curious choice to throw on third and goal on Sunday night in Dallas. The conventional thinking was they should have run the ball and either scored and iced the game or not scored, which would have taken an extra 40 seconds off the clock before kicking a FG.

Now this is a case of who said what, and why 13-year veteran QB Eli Manning a) didn't know how many time outs the Cowboys had left and b) why he decided to throw the ball out of bounds, stopping the clock.

Giants drawing not so flattering previews as season nears

Are Giant fans in for a long season? From what we've seen so far, yes. The overall health of the team is worse than it was a year ago, and key players such as WR Victor Cruz, DE Jason Pierre-Paul, MLB Jon Beason and LT Will Beatty are either missing time or going to miss time.

GEICO SportsNite: Giants demoralized after loss to Seattle

Not a pleasant experience for the Giants and their fans yesterday at MetLife Stadium. The Seattle Seahawks came in here and squashed what's left of the Giants" offense, 23-0.

"I expected a great effort today. I think defensively and with our special teams, we got it," said Tom Coughlin after the game. "Offensively we did not ? there?s no way to sugarcoat it. A pathetic offensive performance ? we didn?t block anybody, we didn?t make any plays, we didn?t create any opportunities for ourselves. I told the players who prepared and gave great effort that I appreciated what they did, and I told those that were obvious they had not, that I felt sorry for them because they?re missing the whole point."

GEICO SportsNIte has the post game reaction from the Giants' locker room:

Will JPP play vs Dallas this week?

By John Fennelly | Sep 4, 2013 | 8:21AM

Giants' DE Jason Pierre-Paul had an operation on his back to repair/treat an herniated disc on June 4. The timetable for his return was 12 weeks. Today is September 4. That 12 weeks ended yesterday.

So, is JPP ready to return for the Giants? He was out on the practice field Monday and seemed to be able to do everything, but keep in mind it was not a padded practice. The All-Pro DE said he was tired after putting in his first full day's work in three months.

"I feel great. I feel good, (but) we?re not there," JPP said Monday. "Ran off tired. I was completely tired. I wasn?t like I expected to be my first day out there, but I feel great."

LoudMouths: More Yards in 2013 - Jets' Ivory or Giants' Wilson?

By John Fennelly | Aug 15, 2013 | 7:02AM

Those LoudMouths are usually entertaining, but this debate might be a little out there...or is it....?

Which running back will rush for more yards this season -- Chris Ivory of the Jets or David Wilson of the Giants?

Ivory was acquired by the Jets from New Orleans in April for a fourth-round pick and signed to a 3-year deal. He has never played a full season and only appeared in six games in each of the past two years. He just began practicing for the Jets this week after battling a hamstring strain, which is not uncommon as he has a history of injury.

Te'o Watches Draft Stock Go From Steady to Volatile

By John Fennelly | Jan 19, 2013 | 11:56AM

Notre Dame LB Manti Te'o has gone from Heisman Trophy runner-up and a lead-pipe cinch top five NFL prospect to a silly, immature kid who needs to either grow up or just come clean and show that he is serious about playing pro football.

The fake girlfriend hoax raises doubts to whether Te'o is ready for the next level. He is certainly a productive player who appears to be ready to handle the physical demands of NFL life, but this charade may keep teams from taking him in the early part of the first round in April's draft, where Te'o is projected to be selected. Can he handle the emotional and psychological part of being a pro?
